Privacy — SendXa

This page explains where your files go, what we keep, and for how long. Written for people, not for lawyers.

File contents never rest on our server

When the receiver hits download, the server joins the two ends and pushes bytes across — not one byte is written to disk. Your file exists only on the sending and receiving computers. This is not a promise we ask you to trust: there is no place on the server for a session's file to be written.

When the two computers connect directly

If the network allows it, the two browsers connect straight to each other and the file never passes through our server at all. The server then only introduces the two sides to one another.

What the server does keep

While a session is open the server keeps: the session ID, the 6-digit code, file names and sizes (so the receiver can see the list before downloading), and the time the session was created. Never file contents. All of it is deleted when the session closes, or after 12 hours at the latest.

Operational logs

The server writes operational logs containing IP addresses, timestamps, and the number of files in a session — used to diagnose faults and block abuse. Logs contain no file names and no file contents.

No accounts, no tracking

No sign-up, no password, no user profile. The page carries no third-party tracking, no ads, and we sell data to no one. Your browser only stores your language and light/dark preference, on your own machine.

The 6-digit code protects your session

Anyone with the ID and the code can join. Send those two numbers over a channel you trust, and do not post them publicly.

Your rights

Because we hold no account or profile for you, there is almost no personal data to request or erase. If you want a session gone right now, close it — everything about it is deleted at once.
